    Aluminum Foil Yay or Nay

    Alright I hear a lot of people say not to use aluminum foil because it can reflect too much light and burn the leaves. But then again I look around at picture of beautiful plants and the room is covered in foil. So whats the deal? DOes the type of light being used matter? I got 80watts of CFL...

    CO2; Heavier of Lighter than Air

    Well im thinkin about using the simple method of yeast sugar and water, so I thinking is it better to close the top and let the gass build up then release it at night?

    CO2; Heavier of Lighter than Air

    Okay, so I know that CO2 is necessary for plants, and can boost flowering production, But a couple questions on setup... 1) Does the CO2 generally sink or rise? Meaning should I place the end of the tube above my plant or below near the soil? 2) Also; when using the yeast sugar water and...

    Okay, the light set up is a bit different, I could not fit all of the lights on with the splitters like I had planned. I got two 65000K CFL's and one of the lower end CFL I think it was 2700K. Right now one of the lights (6500K) is about four inches from the soil (no sprout yet) and the other...
